That looks tough! With the 20” wheels and springs, how is the overall ride? How much is it lowered?

Thanks... The car sits about 3/4" lower. I have not been able to discern any notable handling changes relative to the stock 19" setup. 245/30 F and 325/25 R.. Here's another angle to check the profile.

My only comment on the 20's is while they look pretty good, if you do not have smooth roads you may run into issues. My 20's are made by a company called Works (came with the car when I acquired it used) and they were bent when I got them and I have bent them myself. I have either had them straightened or purchased the inner or outer portions to get them back in shape again.

After all of this, I have decided once I run the rubber off the 20's on it now, I am going to look for 19's that have the same design as the 20's and stop bending rims.

This is all on Bilstein coilovers, so YMMV.

Agree 20” more aggresive. Have Bilstein PSS10 w DSC controller. Looking for 20” HRE center locks for my ‘13 turbo S. Anyone selling their 527S hit me up please!

Here are some details on my 20" setup.

Unlike everyone else, I chose to stick with 35 F / 30 R sidewalls. Don't like the look of the super thin 30 F / 25 R sidewalls...

Specs
F: 235/35/20 PS4S NO (NO spec is 0.1" wider than standard), 20x9 +48 (could use a 5mm spacer), -2.5° camber
R: 305/30/20 PS4S , 20x11.5 +36 (+46 with a 10mm spacer), -2.0° camber

The mild stretch on the F & R make the sidewalls look a bit less tall than they actually are.

I stuck with 19’s Rohanas with H&Rs because I don’t like the stretched tire look.

Maybe I need to see some in person. I usually put 20s on my other Pcars but every time I see pics of 20's the tires look so slim. Not too many 997's around here lol.
